It was simple. Politicians had been using it for ages. Prey on people’s fears and sense that they had been mistreated and find someone to blame for the way things were going. Promise them justice and punish whoever it was they thought was keeping them from getting what they wanted. That was never themselves. Keep shouting the lie. Wear people down. Confuse them. Make them promises you never intended to keep.

“Maybe Karl will decide you aren’t the chosen one. He won’t have any use for you, and I can do what I like. And you won’t like what I like.”
“You’re the chosen one?”
“Not that chosen one,” I said.
“I thought there was only one chosen one.”
“By definition, the chosen one can only be one.”
“The one is the one," Brandon said.
“Stands to reason,” Lonnie said.
Lonnie and Brandon fist bumped.
Teenagers.

“You wrote this book?”
“The Prestige got some people to write his book for him. He had, what do you call them?”
“Ghostwriters.”
“Exactly. John, Paul, George and Ringo. I, too, had a ghostwriter, but the words are mine, the story is mine.”
“Those aren’t the writers of the Bible.”
“Are you sure?”
“Those are the Beatles,” I said.

“I’m not the antichrist,” I said.
“One of you kids is. Admittedly, I have a lot of children. What can I say? The ladies like me. But I think you’re the one.”
I didn’t want to be that One. I wouldn’t mind being the other One. The hero who saves the day. Who wouldn’t want to be that guy? But the One he was talking about, the one to bring The End of Days, no.

“Hello Karl,” I said. I couldn’t quite say dad. I had been an orphan all my life and when a father finally showed up, he only came to me in dreams and turned out to be a fallen angel, THE fallen angel. I thought it explained a lot. All my life, the question had followed me. Why did my parents give me up? The answer was that my father was Karl, King of Hell, Sovereign of evil. Not the answer I was looking for.
